Comments on: Ash Wednesday http://goodboysnation.com/2010/02/18/ash-wednesday/ A heady and eclectic mix of of the mundane, golf, religion, and politics Tue, 22 May 2012 06:31:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: The Great White Shank http://goodboysnation.com/2010/02/18/ash-wednesday/comment-page-1/#comment-844367 The Great White Shank Fri, 19 Feb 2010 05:17:54 +0000 http://goodboysnation.com/?p=3263#comment-844367 Thanks for the comment, Max, and welcome to the 'Nation! Don't be a stranger. I know a few people here who have embraced Buddhism and swear by it as a means to get in touch with their inner selves and their surroundings. Our friend and regular commenter around these parts Jana, I always thought, was a closet Buddhist and reincarnated Native American combined; she has a greater ease with the universe around her than anyone I've known. My philosophy has always been, whatever works best for you that brings you and your soul closer to God while not doing damage to others and their search for the same, by all means do it. For me, Rome has been calling me for a number of years - I know that (or at least I think I know that) now; the Saints and the Doctors of the Church (most especially, St. John of the Cross) have played such a fundamental role in my spiritual formation that it should have been clear to me years ago. But better late than never, eh? Thanks again for your comment, feel free to do so again anytime! Thanks for the comment, Max, and welcome to the ‘Nation! Don’t be a stranger.

Meditation can help you shine the flashlight on your 'unconscious'. Results= less stress, less judgmental, less annoyed, greater understanding of self. It's working for me....
